I reckon if it's Ross it would have been announced by now. Maybe Ross is playing Hibs and Hearts off each other. Reckon we are trying to get Kennedy.

Kennedy at 1/2 right now on betvictor. Odds shortening all the time.

[MrSmith]

Don't ask me why as I'm usually wrong but I have a very good feeling about John Kennedy doing a job for us. I feel comfortable if got the job whereas, I'm a little meh about most others mentioned.

Would that suggest they have heard something or sums of money being bet on one person?

Failed in a late "swoop" for him. He was a man of his word as he'd verbally agreed on the Morecambe job. Could have taken the Hearts job though as he hadn't yet signed on the dotted line.

Think that's the sort of guy he is.
Also guessed he would be one of many Hearts would speak to.

Or they can't squeeze any more dosh out of the punters?

That's ok, he was a legendary keeper. I'd ask him for advice too.

😂 defo, infact we have to take guidance from them so much we recently mirrored their sporting director structure as DOF is no longer suitable

[RossScott1991]

I don’t care who gets the job, aslong as their number 1 goal is to entertain the fans and have a go at teams.

Been bored to tears for a while now, just want to see a fearless hibs have a go and try play good football. That’s all the assurances I need.

I'm not sure we should read too much into the betting. John Hughes remains 4th fav in most lists despite being ruled out for the job. I'll still be surprised if it isn't Ross.

Indeed.

Was having a look at the other manager betting odds.

Hecky 10-1 to become next manager at Barnsley with Sol Bamba 10-1 for Cardiff

John Robertson's in at 5-1 for hearts with the hairy one still around evens.

Neil Warnock on a few potential candidate betting lists.

I'd be very interested in him being Hearts manager.

Why do people take bookies odds seriously in this context? It’s not a sporting competition it’s a job interview process.

Has he been ruled out or just not offered an interview at the first round?

Hibs might rule out all 5 of the chosen candidates (or they might reject what's on offer) and have to look elsewhere.

I accept that this is unlikely, but possible nonetheless.

The bookies might think there's a bit of mileage in getting a few quid more in from his media pals yet.

Folk bet on lots of things that aren’t sporting competitions.

Because there’s an assumption they have an idea what’s going on and will have some inside knowledge?

McBookie confirm the bet was suspended by mistake. It’s back up with John Kennedy evens and Jack Ross 6/4

They don’t though.

Don’t disagree with you, I also think they manipulate the markets to make people think somethings happening when there’s not.

I still think that’s why people put weight behind bookies odds though.

If bookies are manipulating the odds (i.e. pricing on a basis other than the estimated chance of winning on a regular basis), it could be tested for, statistically, using historical data. You can get a probability estimate from the odds and compare how often various probabilities show up - derived probabilities of 20%, say, should win 1/5 of the time, for instance. And if bookies are systematically mispricing, you might be able to use that to make money at their expense.

I suspect it's unlikely that they're doing that. I have done the exercise with SPFL results and not found anything obviously untoward, sadly.

Feared the worst the way Hecky lined us up versus Celtic in the Scottish Cup at Easter Road

Better to go down fighting and playing fast exciting attacking football

It is the Hibee way and we generally do no too bad against the Uglies playing that way
